Chapter 416: Cross-Century Communication

"What is that?"

Li Longcheng was stunned when he saw the mecha in front of him being smashed into scrap metal. However, the scene that happened next shocked him even more.

After noticing that there was an enemy attack from behind, the Batarians immediately turned their guns and attacked the huge dark figure. However, their attack was fruitless. The fierce artillery fire that was enough to penetrate the vehicle did not leave any traces on the dark giant. On the contrary, the opponent suddenly swung the war hammer in his hand, and the next moment, the Batarians in front of him were directly crushed to the ground by the whirlwind brought by the war hammer, like a frog crushed by a wheel, and turned into a pool of meat sauce.

It's a lie!

Seeing this, Li Longcheng couldn't even believe his eyes. Although these Batarians seemed to have no defense, they were actually equipped with small shield generators. This kind of shield can even withstand the attack of some large rockets. However, the opponent just swung the hammer head and actually broke through the shields of these Batarians and killed them instantly?

"Boom!"

Just as the dark giant swept away the surrounding batarians with one hammer, another automatic mecha turned and rushed towards him. However, the dark giant didn't even look at it, and swung his hammer back, hitting the automatic mecha with a home run, knocking it completely away, and then disintegrated in the air, turning into a pile of fragments.

"…………………………"

Seeing this, everyone, including Li Longcheng, was stunned.

They have also dealt with the Turians. In fact, whether it is the human civilization here or the alien civilization, they basically have two layers of protection, a small shield on the outside and armor on the inside. It is precisely because of this that when the two sides fight, they usually have to find a way to break the shield first and then the armor, and finally kill them.

In addition, the shield will recover, so it will be very difficult to fight. Many times, you can't kill me and I can't kill you.

This is also the reason why Li Longcheng and his subordinates can withstand the attacks of the batarians who are many times more numerous than themselves.

Even those automatic mechas are equipped with shields. However, these shields are just like paper in front of this dark giant. They are completely meaningless. Li Longcheng even saw that when the dark giant's hammer blasted out, the shield outside the automatic mecha was directly shattered, and it disappeared without even a millisecond.

This is just like a dream!

But... why do I always feel that this dark giant seems a little familiar?

At this moment, the battle was completely over. With the last group of batarians being killed, the place returned to peace. The dark giant also put away the hammer and turned to stare at them. Seeing this, the others also subconsciously tightened their weapons.

"Ah... Ah... Ah..."

Just when Li Longcheng was about to stand up and say something, he saw Dr. Herman, who was handcuffed next to him, suddenly brightened up, rushed over with a shout, and was quickly grabbed by Li Longcheng.

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

"Same! Same as what we saw before!!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Dr. Herman's words, Li Longcheng was stunned, and then he looked at the beacon in surprise. He finally understood why Dr. Herman was so excited!

The reason is very simple, that is, the dark giant in front of them, and the blue warriors who appeared in the beacon projection before, are wearing similar armor!

They are also tall, with heavy armor decorated with skulls, and their appearance styles are very similar. It's just that the one that appears in the projection is painted blue, while the giant in front of them is painted black.

"Don't fire, put down your weapons!!"

At this moment, Li Longcheng also hurriedly asked the others around him to put down their weapons. Then he stood up, stared at the giant in front of him, took a deep breath, and walked towards him.

So tall...!

Although he had felt that the other party was very tall before, when Li Longcheng walked in front of the pitch-black giant, he found that he was only at the other party's waist. You know, Li Longcheng was born in a military family and was also quite tall, 1.8 meters tall, but in front of this giant, he felt like a child.

"Hello, I am Li Longcheng, Admiral of the Star Alliance, may I ask............"

Hearing Li Longcheng's question, the pitch-black giant was silent for a while, then took off his helmet, revealing a face...

"Hiss--!"

Looking at the face in front of him, even Li Longcheng took a breath of cold air, and his body shook and almost collapsed to the ground.

As a soldier, he has seen many aliens, but... He has never seen a human who looks so fierce!

"Hello, I am Duanmu Huai, the chief judge of the Tribunal."

Staring at Li Longcheng in front of him, Duanmu Huai laughed, and although the latter was a little trembling, he still stared at Duanmu Huai.

"Excuse me, what are you doing......"

"I know what you want to ask."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand and interrupted Li Longcheng.

"Yes, we came here with you on purpose, and we had guessed that you would be attacked. The reason we came here is to thwart the plot of those idiots, because for us, you are better alive than dead."

"Huh......"

Hearing this, Li Longcheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had doubted how these people appeared so coincidentally at first, but he didn't expect that the other party was very straightforward...but...the Tribunal? What organization is this?

"My fleet..."

"Your fleet was lured away and won't be back for at least another hour."

Duanmuhuai glanced around, then found a place to sit down.

"So, let's talk about it."

"...Of course there is no problem."

In fact, this was Li Longcheng's idea, so he immediately cheered up, asked others to guard the surroundings, and then sat across from Duanmu Huai. At this moment, Dr. Herman also came over and stared at him with passion... I have to say that it was quite uncomfortable for Duanmu Huai to be stared at by a man like this.

"Who is this………?"

"Dr. Hermann, he is a scholar who studies ancient ruins..."

"Oh fine………"

Duanmuhuai retracted his gaze and looked at Li Longcheng again.

"I know you have many things you want to ask, but before that, I would like to introduce you to the situation of the Tribunal."

This was already familiar to Duanmu Huai. He didn't even bother to talk anymore, just like he did to Maria before, he took out a holographic promotional video of the Tribunal and played it directly.

I have to say that this form is indeed very convenient, at least... After watching the entire promotional video, Li Longcheng already understood the origin of the Tribunal and the history of the former human empire... And Dr. Herman next to him, He was even more excited and trembling all over. If he hadn't been held down by the soldiers, he might have jumped up!

"...So, what you mean is that we are the descendants of the human empire?"

"Well, one of them, or so far, you are the most developed among these human civilizations."

"Really……………"

Hearing this, Li Longcheng also had a smile on his face. To be honest, when he learned that there was more than just his own human civilization in the universe, Li Longcheng was also very nervous, and now he heard Duanmu Huai say that Star Alliance is one of these human civilizations. Developing the best one... also made him relieved and very proud.

To be honest, although the whole story sounds very ridiculous, Li Longcheng is more inclined to believe that it is reality - after all, if it is true that humans once unified the entire galaxy, for the people of the Star Alliance, Naturally, it is a great stimulus and benefit!

but……………

"Wait, wait, Lord Inquisitor! So what happened to the Protheans? The Protheans...!"

At this time, Dr. Hermann could no longer hold back and asked, but Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh, it's actually quite normal. After the collapse of the human empire, these guys took advantage of the vacuum period to take over those territories... Well, that's how the so-called monkeys without tigers in the mountains become kings."

Regarding the Protheans, players in the game also conducted research, and the final conclusion was that the Protheans were a vassal race from the Human Empire, and were under the jurisdiction of the Thirteenth Prince at that time. Later, after the Black Hole Project, all species in the galaxy suffered a devastating blow. Only the Protheans escaped, I don't know whether they were lucky or something. Later, they quickly took this opportunity to expand and occupied the human empire. most of the territory.

In the end, it turns out that aliens will always be aliens, and these idiots still screwed up and killed themselves.

Of course, Duanmu Huai has no fluctuations in his heart about this, or the Protheans should be glad that they became extinct early, otherwise they would definitely have a place on the list of the Inquisition now.

"alright."

Duanmuhuai directly changed the topic and looked at Li Longcheng again.

"Now that you know the existence of our Tribunal, you should understand why we saved you."

"...You hope that I can lead the Star Alliance to resist aliens?"

"That's right."

Duanmuhuai nodded.

"Any act of bending the knee to the alien race is an unforgivable heresy. The dignity and glory of human beings cannot be desecrated! No matter what excuse is used, the Inquisition will not admit this!"

"But...even we can't fight against the entire Citadel Council..."

"I know very well, so the Tribunal will also work with you to fight together. There is no need to completely eliminate them, but we must also let them know that humans are not existences that these lowly aliens can manipulate at will!"

"………………!"

Li Longcheng did not speak, but nodded heavily. Although he was not as extreme as Duanmu Huai, Li Longcheng also agreed with Duanmu Huai's words in his heart.

Humanity will never succumb to the threat of any alien race!

"So, what do we do?"

"hehe."

Hearing Li Longcheng's inquiry, Duanmu Huai chuckled.

"I have a suggestion..."
